Design

The Sebino Group employs highly qualified staff, which under the tech-nical department’s supervision, analyzes the best solutions, taking into account, as reference, the primary factors such as reliability and quality of the products to be installed and at the same time finding the best quality-price ratio. The Sebino Group activity has always focused exclusively on fire pro-tection systems, and therefore, by executing its numerous projects, it has accumulated a long and important experience, which represents the best “business card” for a high quality and reliable design for fire protection systems.The design activities are of primary importance from the very first tech-nical and commercial phases of a new project:

At the stage of fire risks analysis, in order to evaluate and select the • best operative technical solution, for the active control of the risk;While elaborating the preliminary drafts, for the definition of the • functional parameters, as well as for the specialized components of the project;While preparing the preliminary technical-commercial offer, which • has to be, technically and commercially, clear, complete and cor-rect.

The design becomes determinant and final in the next steps of the project:

In the elaboration of an executive technical-commercial offer which, • by using specialized software, can reach the detailed dimensioning of the fire protection system;In the validation of the project, based on norms and standards, by • using specific software for the hydraulic calculations; In the preparation of the structural drawings for the prefabrication • in the workshop, of the specific and distinctive components of the project;In the definition of the installation procedures and time schedule on • site, from the system components untill the final commissioning.

The Group’s abilities to design, to prefabricate and assemble in the workshop, to carry out the site installation, to test and to commis-sion a “turn-key” system to the Client, refer mainly, but not exclu-sively, to the following types of Fire Protection Systems:

Prefabricated pipes <FM> approved The Sebino Group in accordance with its own tradition of dynamism and innovation, brings out on the European market a complete line of prefabricated <FM> Global approved pipes. It is a product line which contains cross main till 8’’ diameter with threaded or grooved branch outlet till 3”, secondary branch lines of diameters from 1” to 3” with threaded inser-tions from ½” to 1”, executed with welded or seamless pipes, according to the EN10255, EN10216, EN10217 norms.This line of prefabricated pipes is produced by a completely automated pre-construction and manufacturing process, designed around a robotic cell, with high levels of production capacity and welding quality.A manufacturing workshop fully automated, capable to satisfy different types of require-ments for modern fire fighting systems.The production phases of the continous line of automatic production processes are:

Selection of the raw materials;• The metal surface preparation by sandblasting;• The positioning, marking and grooving of the ends of the pipes, to size;• Drilling in design position• The positioning and welding of the threaded insertion• 100% Quality control of the weldings with penetrating liquids;• Polishing and cleaning of the welded surface• Painting at final dimension with electrostatic powder.• Drying in ovens• Manufacturing for the mounting in the site•

Construction

The raw materialThe carbon steel pipes, to be used in this production process, are rigorously Made in Eu-rope, meaning not only the Manufacture Certificate, but the actual production of the pipes.Following the same policy, for the threaded inserts, only FM approved products, made in USA, are used. The purpose of this selection process, is to eliminate from the very begin-ning the risks of imperfections.

The metal surface preparationThe metal surface preparation is essential to guarantee the quality of the welding processes and a good adherence of the paint on the metallic surface of the pipes. The best metal surface preparation is obtained through the sandblasting and steel blasting process. The preparation of the surfaces is the first step of this continuous process, and it is taken before any welding in order to avoid compromising the quality of welding, because of the rust or other types of deposits, causing porosities or other inacceptable defects.

Automatic prefabrication lineFor the production of the secondary branches, manifolds and risers, it is used a robotic line of prefabrication which integrates all the processes and mechanical works : grooving, cutting and welding. The pipe movement is digitally controlled to ensure the maximum precision of positioning the outlets on the pipes. The 100% digital control of the welding parameters allows to obtain weldings of high quality without defects or inclusions.The production line has been created, so that enables us to obtain prefabricated secondary branches, manifolds and risers with lengths superior to the classic length of 6 meters, reaching lengths of up to 9 meters or intermediate lengths.

Extended quality controlIn addition to the automatic production process, the quality control of 100% of the weld-ings, significantly reduces the risk of subsequent production faults. All weldings are tested by applying penetrating liquids. The lowest infiltration of the fluo-rescent liquid at the welds joining, imply the rejection of the prefabricated component and

Installation

The installing phase of an automatic fire protection system is fundamental for the mounted installation’s quality and for its reliability. During its thirty years of operation, the Sebino Group managed to acquire considerable experiences and capabilities, in the crucial phase of implementation of the system on site, thus creating a large group of direct partners, which are key to the success of the company, in its process from the design of the project to final starting-up and commissioning.Using its own resources, the Sebino Group is able to execute the installation of its own fire protection systems, starting from pre-fabricated and pre-assembled components in its workshop, continuing with its procedures and methods of plant erection as scheduled and defined at the project design stage.

ServicesThe services provided by the Group, both for the commissioning and maintenance of a system during its term of use , are provided, upon request, only and exclusively on systems and plants designed, built and commissioned by the Sebino Group itself.

Commissioning Sebino Group provides operating and maintenance manuals, including drawings, in various languages, if required. It also provides written procedures for most common faults identi-fication and lists of spare parts. During the commissioning of an installation designed by the Group, the operating data of the installation are recorded, verified and analyzed with the client, prior to the acceptance and the transfer of the system under Client’s responsibility.

Maintenance serviceThe Sebino Group, in performing the after sale maintenance service, reserves a special attention to:

The timeline and accuracy for the planned maintenance interventions;• The immediate availability of spare parts, in order to guarantee the service continuity of • the fire protection installation;The in-depth knowledge of each served fire protection installation, by qualified and • authorized operators;

its elimination from the automatic process. The piece can be reworked using the traditional way of manual welding. If it is not possible to guarantee the perfection of the welding, the entire prefabricated piece will be scrapped.

Automatic electrostatic painting lineOnce the prefabricated pipes are produced, tested and cleaned, they enter into the next level: the robotic electrostatic powder painting line. The paint is powder (epoxy, epoxy/polyester or polyester) with electrostatic application and recuperation of the product in excess. The module with the suspended prefabricated pipes is then placed, in a high temperature oven, which fixes permanently the paint on the tubes.The final result is a prefabricated and permanently painted pipe, sustainable and stable over time, unlike the traditional electrostatic pre-painting processes which for physical-chemical reason cannot ensure the adherence on the metal surface over time.The minimum thickness of the coating on the metal surface is of 60 micron, but on request, it can reach 300 micron.

Engineering and installation supportEach prefabricated piece is identified by its own aluminum adhesive label, containing the identification marks of each project: logo, client name, identification of the component, bar code. Each on-site delivery includes the prefabrication project, consisting in the general assem-bling layout, key instructions detailing the assembling sequences, and an analytical file for each component, containing constructive, dimensional and technical data. The full production undergoes according to ISO 9001:2008 and the full traceability is guar-anteed by the marking and labeling of each prefabricated piece.
